Open University undergraduate attempting to career change into Planetary Science/Astrobiology in my 30s
And next year I will really need to ramp up any internships, research and lab experience I can get. I love the OU and what it does and the fact that I can do a degree at my age while working full time but (understandably) it's very tough to get any practical experience or build relationships.

Can't know for sure but maybe the simplicity was an issue here as my score was lower than I expected but I got the 2:1 I wanted for the module and now means that a 2:1 overall is basically nailed on unless my dissertation is a disaster or I simply forget to submit it. Could get a First still too

It was also my first time writing an abstract. That was a lot trickier to get right than I was expecting.

Thank you for this!
It’s also incredible what it does for your motivation. I now simply want to get 3rd year started right now while I am still buzzing!

What an excellent looking programme!
Perhaps a slow re-integration onto social media is a good thing especially for making exciting connections as I move into my final year of undergrad. Unlikely to spend any time on twitter though as that really has just got worse and worse. I hope this place is still pretty pleasant!
